Great place for the ladies to go camping.

Lots of great nature. The city of Portland has gone a bit downhill though.

But not the friendliest of people, in my experience.

Depends on where you go imo

Oregonian here, we do have some exceptional camping. HMU if anyone needs helping getting to a good camping spot in Oregon
KhajiitIsPleased
Genuine question, what's the summer like up there? Me and the heat dont get along
StraightOuttaOptions
Warm and dry. Typically 70-80 most days, little to no humidity. The rest of the year it rains.

You get that same smug NIMBY vibe in every nice mid-sized town in America, but it's usually subtext. Oregon's built a whole identity off it.

I came here to share the same quote. It’s a classic

Glad to see you didn't leave out the high desert!

I hope to revisit the Oregon coast someday soon.

Portland is awesome! An hour in one direction, you’re in the mountains. An hour in the other direction, you’re at the coast.

What's the cost of living there
PDXDragon
It rains here all the time. It's about average for inches of rain in a year, but #4 for shitty gray wet days in a year.

How’s the “camping” ?
linecookdaddy
I like beaches, but I like forests right next to beaches even more. Oregon rules

The best part about the PNW in my honest opinion

I wrote a report on Oregon in 2nd grade. The state sent me a huge packet of cool stuff, including stickers and pencils! I’ll never forget.

We did this too when i lived in NY...i think most states will if you ask?
ScootiePuffJrSucks
I love my state.

Oregon has amazing camping, too.

Seems lovely. I was only in florida a few times but never anywhere else in the US. Must see
AgainstMethod
Florida's cool, but it's a pretty unique area. The Pacific Northwest is incredible.

I've seen a series with some cool dude and a women solving crimes in Washington (?) and it all looked awesome
TheElGordo
You haven’t even talked about all the TRAILS Oregon has to offer.
StraightOuttaOptions
The scenic I-84 corridor stretches all the way from Idaho to Portland. From, you journey past the arid Alvord desert, and Steen’s mountain.
StraightOuttaOptions
Take I-5 if you’re coming from California or Washington. Or, just fly into PDX. Whatever works for you,

Which one can I stop and hunt bears from?

I'd love to visit, but my family kept dying of dysentery every time we tried to make the trip.

You need to hunt more

Did you tell them to stop?

I lost a bunch of them trying to float my wagons across a river. But all the cool kids were doing it so I figured why not give it a try?

I think we’re calling it “camping” these days

It's a legitimate strategy!

Oregon is a great place for camping, though came under fire for it’s stance on physician assisted suicide for the terminally ill.
AgainstMethod
Of all the facts about Oregon you could have picked, this seems like an odd one.
FatBastardVegetarian
Only state in the lower 48 I've missed.
AgainstMethod
I'm trying to think how I would even get to Washington, Idaho, *and* California without also setting foot in Oregon.
FatBastardVegetarian
Not hard. Flew to Seattle. Flew to LA. Flew to San Fran. Was in Southern Idaho. Closest I got was three hours (just to the border).

Just don't MOVE here. We're all full up pretty much.

Agreed. living on the south coast is like heaven. I've seen too many people visiting disrespect the area.
GabbyJayYay
Just for that, ill move there even harder
xThanatoSx
Sorry, claiming refugee status from Texas. I'll be there in October.

I respect that. I was prepared to claim refugee status if Drumpf was elected this last cycle.

Living in the UK, with our pop. of 67m in an area smaller than an avg size US state, I find it mad any american saying the country is full
WTactualF
Not full, just don’t want anymore people. Lots of nature and still pretty rural throughout Oregon.
usernamenamesolongifyoutagmeinyourcommentyouwonthavemuchspace
We're about the same size of Oregon, but with equivalent of 1/4 of the entire US population living here.
manbearpigatemybaby
If we expanded up , and made walkable cities and had public transportation, i would love more people.
manbearpigatemybaby
We value land in its natural state, its just how Oregon people are. And the way towns expand here is just gross and sprawli3and disgusting.
HavetsHerren
Have you heard about Euclidian zoning? That's the main reason why the USA look full when they are empty AF.
AgainstMethod
Are Oregonians all unwelcoming nativists or is this just a played out joke from the 80's?
averagebrainfarmer
70’s I believe. Governor Tom McAll started it. Source, am Oregonian old enough to remember.
Dasiana
my opinion only: we're welcoming and love visitors and people moving in, but don't want our state overrun with the type of shit that's
Dasiana
rampant everywhere else. our outdoor areas are well maintained and abundant, we have a lot of sane progressive legislation, and it feels
Dasiana
like we need to protect that, in a sense. again that's just me though
AgainstMethod
Fwiw the people moving to Oregon are more progressive than the typical non-PDX native and the nativism is much stronger among conservatives.
Dasiana
yeah that's a good point. rural Oregon is red as all hell. I was just kind of thinking out loud about how it feels to me
AgainstMethod
I get what you're saying. I've just lived in a few places where outsiders are driving up rent & yet we're nice to our new neighbors.
